About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Dynamic Idealism

But although in general the end of a science is some process or activity, an important dis tinction has to be made. Some sciences have for their end an activity which belongs, or seems for a time to belong, to a sphere quite apart from the scientist, while others would free the activity of the scientist himself. The former are called Objective or, in the more general use ofthe term, physical; the latter, subjective. The former seek an answer to the question, How does the world about us act? The latter to the question, How do we, and so how can we, act? Psychology, most properly regarded, is Me sub jective science.
